Hello, finally got my truck back on the road. Machining the heads cost me $500. I probably should have gone with 2 new heads for $1000 on ebay. I guess I will soon find out. Thanks for all of your help. Next time should be a breeze.. By the way, I found a piece of grounding braid hanging out...

Found it on another post. 9128PT is the .010 over Felpro head gasket that you use if he heads have been shaved. My heads were shaved.

Hello. Happy New Year. I got the heads back from the shop. The guy told me I need to use a thicker head gasket because he shaved the heads. The number he gave me is OReilly 9128 PT. Does this sound right?

Yes, got the pump out. Is it possible to turn the engine without removing injectors? Do I need to turn it in a particular direction?

I got the vacuum pump loose. If I remove it, will the orientation get messesd up? I was able to salvage my hose clamp. Merry Christmas!.

We have been have an unusual amount of rain the past few days. I need to get the 30 mm wrench. I did remove the bolt and the metal plate at the base of the vacuum pump. I will try the vice grips.

The vacuum pump is frozen solid. I cant move it. Where do you buy the fuel line clamp that is on the right rear of the engine? I noticed there is no hole in the intake for the EGR port. The port is full of carbon. Why is this?

This is where I got to. Now labelling the pipes before I pull them off.

got it. thanks.

Also, it says to twist the vacuum pump around to access the last intake bolt. I removed the retaining clamp, but the vacuum pump is frozen solid. Is this going to cause any problems for me down the road? I was able to get all the intake bolts off anyways. Now I am trying to remove the pipe...

Injector nozzle

Thanks. As usual, you have helped me immensely!!

Thanks. That is very helpful. Is there any particular head gasket that is better, or do I get the Felpro gaskets as well?

a few questions as I plan this job: 1) should I replace the fuel injectors? 2) I am going to replace the injector pump. Any problem with the ones on ebay? 3) Should I replace the water pump too? 4) Its says in the manual that I need a speacial tool to remove the injectors, and something called...

yes, that sounds like what I have.

is that a big job

I think a little dripped out from the cap

I havent filled it recently. It was full. If it was the head gasket, wouldnt the engine be running rough?
